Hey #EduSky, it is yearbook season! How is your elementary or middle school keeping yearbook prices low? Check out my MEX16 Google Innovator Project to create your school's individual portraits section. slidesyearbook.com/2025-updates/

I need to explore AppSheet over break. I am curious how it compares with using AI to code Google App Script. What has your experience been? How do they compare?

I get mad at our society everytime we complete a training. We place more responsibility on children than adults My jhs students were talking "what ifs" yesterday. I didn't even think to look at the news until the evening.

Jennifer Scott @jentechnology.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

At moments like you are experiencing, I step back and watch my students. Adults and their politics can suck joy from teaching. Focusing on my crazy, hormone driven junior high school students oddly gives me peace.

What if we cut class sizes and use ChatGPT for lesson planning? Even though I use AI, my students greatly benefit from one-on-one time with me.

A regular chat. I want to do a custom GPT, but I gave yet to find the time.

Jennifer Scott @jentechnology.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

You can also use the Brisk extension. I like using ChatGPT because I like learning how AI works.

I hope so. I definitely enjoy reading their writing as they improve their skills.

I look forward to learning from you.

Thanksgiving has been about family, friends, cleaning, coding, and coding + writing feedback. I teach multilingual jhs students. They write in Slides so that their classmates can inspire them while I give real time feedback. I then use code I wrote plus ChatGPT to give detailed feedback. #EduSky

Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction can have a profound impact on all students, including multilingual learners. However, for multilingual learners to fully benefit, adaptations are often necessary ⬇️ (1/2) #edusky #EAL #multilingual #MLs

Rainy days are the best days to code. This Thanksgiving break will be spent updating the SlidesCreate add-on. When I feel lost, I will remember everything @claycodes.bsky.social taught me and ask AI questions. Challenges inspire me. #EduSky

Setup for coding on a rainy day: laptop, monitor, water, coffee, and a view of autumn trees.

My Edtech journey began in high school, teaching Logo to third graders. After a decade in the classroom, I transitioned to the technology specialist role. I've been empowering elementary students to code, think creatively, and be responsible digital citizens for over 15 years. #EduSky

Got coworkers who are interested in AI but not sure where to start? I tried to make a resource for other teachers but then found this one from @ditchthattextbook.com which is infinitely better than mine! 😂❤️ The best place to get started! #EduSky ditchthattextbook.com/ai-tools/

I get you. Maybe one day your district will give you the full week. I wish my district had 3 weeks at Christmas. We only get 2 weeks. Sigh.

A week for Thanksgiving is very nice. Hopefully, your few days with students will be calm and uneventful.

Hello! I have taught junior high school in Central California for 24 years. I have not been on #TeacherTwitter in two years, so it is nice to see familiar names and meet new educators on #EduSky

A1. I give my college Ss feedforward, which they don't understand. They want to know the grade for eligibility & parental pressure & . . . I want ppl to understand a grade is an arbitrary & inaccurate measure of one's capability & capacity in that moment in time. Grading suggests learning is a 1/3

You deserve the break as you define it. "Meaningful" can mean doing absolutely nothing or anything you want. So far my break as been sleeping in, doing a massive clean up, binge watching Cobrai Kai, hiking with friends, and having a leaf battle with a five year old. That was fun. Do what you want

Jennifer Scott @jentechnology.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Completing ELL evalutions is never fun, but I coded student writing portfolios with a dashboard. The writing was scored by AI and confirmed by me. I feel better prepared to complete 108 forms (due Friday because I procrastinate; I would rather code or give writing feedback ). #edusky

My students create our yearbook in Google Slides, print them, and sell them for $15. This week, we will use AI image generation to brainstorm 2-page layouts that we will recreate. Here is an example. I kinda like it. #EduSky Creating is fun!

Here are a few examples from our first film festival. The student directors range from Newcomers to Ready to Exit. We started a second festival Wednesday, which is our creative day. They were disappointed Thursday when we did a Numbers Mania. A festival includes popcorn and their choice treats.

* Tell a story with 10 WeVideo clips or less! • Videos should be at least 30 and no longer thsn 60 seconds in length. • Use at least four shot sizes effectively: wide shot, full shot, medium shot, and close-up. • Include sound effects that enhance the mood. • Add music when appropriate

Jennifer Scott @jentechnology.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

We are having our second Tiny Film Festival where students create stories from video clips, sound effects, and music. Students must explain their 30-60 second film to the class. The best films come from students who give me gret hair.

It is good to see so many educators coming to #EduSky. I am a teacher to multilingual students. I teach and code yearbooks, which we sell for $15. ChatGPT is my teaching assistant. I love learning from fellow educators, and can't wait to learn from you.

Here is an example conversation with ChatGPT requesting yearbook layout and style ideas. I noticed that the generated images did not always follow the prompt, but they still give inspiration for our yearbook design. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Jennifer Scott @jentechnology.bsky.social · 10/01/2024

I did not write a new blog post about Wednesday's yearbook lesson (yet), but I am super excited about it. Students will submit ChatGPT prompts to generate example yearbook layout images based on mood, color, font pairs, etc. Next week, they will recreate those layouts in Google Slides. #EduSky

So the blog about Class Slide Deck is done, but I want to add videos before I post it. AND I have my official teacher evaluation this week. The blog will post and the code will be shared, it will . . .

Jennifer Scott @jentechnology.bsky.social · 09/11/2023

When I share student work, I can't help but smile. Their creativity inspires me to code more solutions. Now teachers are asking to use the code I wrote that makes a template with each student's name. So, I am drafting a new blog post with videos and a link to the code. Stay tuned. #EduSky

While reading the novel. The students would use details from the novel to create the script then revise.

What if students wrote AI writing prompts that you submit to create a play, skit or commercial? Students would have to revise and identify their personal creative touch.

Jennifer Scott @jentechnology.bsky.social · 04/11/2023

Yesterday, I taught my middle school ELL students how to write their first text-to-image writing the prompt. The skill to write a quality prompt is an excellent writing activity. I have always preferred students in class writing on the computers while I give immediate feedback.
